Yamamoto's flagship was the battleship "Nagumo" (At least that was one of his
flagships...).

The Bikiniians have been wanting to go home for a long time. I wonder if
the island is safe for long-term habitation even if you avoid all food 
grown there and import all water, too. Children are especially vulnerable to
radiation. Prob. OK to stay a week or two in a hotel, tho.

AN ecologist named Odum spent years studying the effects of nuclear blasts
on the coral reef ecosystems at Bikini, their recovery (or lack of
recovery), etc. Interesting if sometimes difficult reading. I have no
references to supply, alas....

...um, ah, maybe it was Eniwetok, not Bikini. I always forget about old
Eniwetok. Try these:

Odum, Howard T and E.P Odum. 1955. Trophic Structure and Productivity of
a Windward Coral Reef on Eniwetok Atoll. Ecol. Monogr. 25: 291-320.

Odum, E.P and H.T. Odum. 1957. Zonation of Corals on Japtan Reef, Eniwetok
Atoll. Atoll Res. Bull. 52: 1-3.

There are probably more.
